ST. LOUIS March 2S-Governor Marmaduke
today signed the bill passed at .he recent ses
sion Of the Legislature which repeals the law of
1857 that permitted wine and beer to be sold in
St. Louis Sunday. This brings St Louis
under the action OF what is known as the Down
ing law, which embraces all the provisions Of
. strict Sunday law, and not only closes all sa-
looms and beer gardens, but, if rigidly enforced

publication of newspapers all manual labor and
al: kinds of traffic. AS result there is conster-
naficn among the saloon keepers and an uneasy
feeling on the part OF all persons and interests
affected. The saloon men will probably resist
the law, and there is likely to be some kind of a
public demonstration against it.

WASHINGTON, March PSI don't expect any
real work from the Interstate-c commerce Com
mission before September or October" said a
gentleman, this morning, who will have much to
do with the labors of that tribunal you see,
it will take several weeks to get general con-
struction upon the law and a procedure mapped
out This must be done before any thing can be
accomplished. Then circulars will be sent
ont to the corporations needing or desiring in
structions"
'There must be great many inquiries al
ready concerning the meaning of the awp
asked
''Very many" was the quick reply. "You
would be surprised to learn how many inquiries
Mr.. Morrison, for instance, has received from
railroad men. 1t would take the time of clerk
to answer the letters he is receiving. The rail
road men are puzzled about great many
things, and they show an honest intention in
asking what they shall do about them"
What do you honestly believe will be the re
suit of this law, anyway
Il predict its repeal. To my mind it was {
mistake for Congress to try to regulate railroad
traffic IN the manner it did. It was a genera
stroke at the corporations, and has brought then
into common sympathy. They will combine
| and the result will be no more competition ant
higher tariffs for all kinds of traffic, unless, pos
sibly, local work is excepted Everybody knows
that our long and broad country demands mor'

perative to the welfare of the export trade espe

make the through tariffs SO onerous that they
will ruin the export traffic. and that the result
